With the Holden Commodore and Ford Falcon stopping production soon, it was only a matter of time the V8 Utes in the V8 Supercars Championship have to cease racing. And since the Australians loving their pickups quite a lot, the organisers behind the V8 Supercars Championship figured that formation of the new SuperUtes series is going to be just as successful.

But but instead of running the car-based Holden Commodore and Ford Falcon utility vehicles, the new SuperUtes will use actual pickups like the Toyota Hilux, Isuzu D-Max and the Nissan NP300 Navara which are all normal production-based turbodiesel dual-cab trucks.

Expect the trucks to go racing in 2017 with events will be held in conjunction with Supercar racers.
